you dont realy need to have many forces to use just master and be realy good with just a few so its not a bit odd that you make them pick a card diferently each time, personaly I like and use the riffle force and dont use the classic force couse its just not reliable enough but I cant realy say that the glide force is a good one but you can use the hindu force in a way that its very convincing !

Glide force from the bottom of the deck....

*edit* LOL just read the above post :-)

Riffle for if you are using gaff cards of somthing that needs to be 100% If not, go classic and pick another trick if they font go for the card.

If you're a working magician(I'm not) I'd say it's a really good Idea to have a decent handful of effective forces mastered. For one, if you're performing several tricks for the same group of people it adds variety to your act, and people are far less likely to catch on to your method(since it constantly changes). Second of all, you may end up performing in front of the same people at a different event, and these people may get a little bored if you just do the same tricks the exact same way as before. When I perform I use a different method for making a person select a card for almost every pick-a-card-trick I do whether I force or not! The only time I'll use the same method is if I try a Classic Force and miss it the first time. Once you have the Classic force mastered(which I don't!) it is INCREDIBLY RELIABLE, and from the specs point of view it seems most fair. I'm not very good at it, but I've surprised myself many times with it. It really all depends on the spectators which force I'll use.

Another force I REALLY like is Daniel Garcia's "Ego Force"
